Management Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2018 (Audited) Page 0
This report discusses the principal changes in the audited consolidated financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2018. Economic Overview In 2018, the Thai economy continued to grow, driven by the expansion of merchandise export which aligned with global economic growth. Meanwhile, tourism sector expanded well, though at a softer pace toward the end of the year which owed to the slowdown in the number of Chinese tourists. In addition, private consumption continued to improved, mainly due to the surge of car sales after the government s first-car scheme restriction continued to mature. Such an expansion in merchandise exports and private consumption contributed to the growth of manufacturing production and private investment. Furthermore, public spending, both current and capital spending, also continued to grow. Hence, the Thai economy has been facing a number of risks such as the US - China trade war, the slow growth of farm income, and the pressure from household debt at high levels. Page 1
The Bank and Its Subsidiaries overview performance for the year 2018 The Bank and Its Subsidiaries performance for the year 2018 In 2018, KTB s consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders of the Bank was Baht 28,491 million, or a growth of 27.0 YoY. Such net profit resulted from a loan growth of 4.4 YoY, which derived from the continual growth of retail loans (both housing and personal loans), from an organic growth in government and state enterprise sectors and from the gradual loan growth of SMEs and private corporate sectors since the second half of the 2018. The Bank s consolidated total operating income registered at Baht 117,221 million with key changes as shown below: Net interest income decreased by 3.7 YoY while Net Interest Margin (NIM) stood at 3.13, decreasing from 3.28 in 2017. Such decline was due to the impact of the 0.50 lending rate cut on Minimum Retail Rate (MRR) since May 2017, market competition as well as the focus for portfolio management toward higher efficiency and risk management alignment. However, cost of fund remained stable as compared to last year. Non-interest income decreased by 7.8 YoY, which mainly due to the contraction of net fee and service income by 1.5 from the impact of fee waiver via digital channel as well as the decrease in share of profit from investments on equity method from insurance business. Additionally, there was revenue from litigation compensation amounted Baht 1,636 million in 4Q2017. The Bank s consolidated operating expenses increased by 7. 3 YoY as a result of higher personnel expenses from the higher cost in relation to human resources management as well as of higher marketing expenses. Thus, cost to income ratio stood at 45.29, increasing from 40.16 in 2017. The Bank and its subsidiaries set aside lower expense on impairment loss of loans as compared to previous year while consistently conforming to provision policy with prudent practice. As a consequence, the Bank s consolidated coverage ratio is gradually increasing from last year of 121.71 to this year of 125.74. The NPLs Ratio-Gross stood at 4.53, increasing from 4.19 and the NPL Ratio-Net was 1.94, increased from 1.77 as at end of 2017, due to the escalation of SMEs sectors in some industries, together with the strengthening qualitative assessment on NPL. The Bank and the Financial Business Group s Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios were 14.47 and 18.21 respectively. Page 2

This resulted in a contraction of consolidated total operating income. Moreover, operating expenses continued to increase due to personnel expenses in relation to human resources management, premises and equipment expenses and other expenses from marketing cost. The Bank and its subsidiaries set aside lower expense on impairment loss of loans compared to the same period of last year while maintaining the coverage ratio at 125.74. Page 3
